Absolutely incredible place to stay. Home away from home... except it's better than home! EVERYthing we needed at our fingertips, washing machine, fully equiped kitchen, beautiful shower, INCREDIBLY comfortable beds... best sleep we've had in years....and amazing hosts. Thank you Sharon and Merv for the BEST week ever and your amazing hospitality. If we come back to Christchurch you'll be first on the list! Highlights of our trip and must do's was the Antarctica Centre, The Britten Motorcycle Museum (incredible), Tram ride through town, Supercar drivers ceremony on the Avon River, Up the Gondola for lunch amazing views! New Brighton Pier and Supercars at Ruapuna... If there's ever a motorsport event at Ruapuna it's well worth going.

Home away from home

We booked the Eclectic cottage as we needed a base for visiting our family that was close to them but as we were staying for a while we needed somewhere which provided all the comforts of home & this certainly did. Sharon was very welcoming & couldn’t do enough for you. We would thoroughly recommend this accommodation.

Wonderful Stay

Sharon is the consummate host. She greeted us with open arms when we arrived and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation was excellent - had everything that we needed. The only one problem is that we could only stay one night as we were returning home the next day. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Christchurch for a visit

Feels like Home

Sharon welcomes you with genuine hospitality! Everything in her unit is well organized, immaculately clean and comfortable. Many thoughtful touches such as simple kitchen staples, breakfast items, and local restaurant menus. There is a well-outfitted kitchen with dishes/pots/pans, couches/chairs/nice dining table, and an outdoor patio with table and chairs. The beds/bedding/towels are comfortable and fresh. The location is across the street from a park for a walk on the walking path or to play on the playground. We were there in the summer and enjoyed Sharon's beautiful garden and potted plants on the porch. It is a short walk to a Christchurch metro bus stop going downtown and in a nice neighborhood. I would highly recommend!

An absolutely outstanding property

This property, is without doubt, the best we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. Every single aspect or evaluation point has been truly outstanding from location, cleanliness, comfort, warmth, inventory... We simply cannot fault ANYTHING. Above all else, the hostess and her husband have been remarkably friendly, helpful and kind. This has our unreserved recommendation.
